Decent charging cables

I'm experiencing the double frustration of eternally disappearing iPhone charging cables (2 teens in the house!) and the ones we have only lasting a few months before the charging connection starts being unreliable 😡
Seeking recommendations of decent (preferably braided) lightning connection cables please

Anker from Amazon are pretty good, as are the Amazon basics range of cables.

iPhone cables are the worst. Complete rip off.,

I second Anker, both of my are braided Anker and are in really good condition despite being a few years old.

We only ever buy Anker for cables and charging plugs etc.

I agree with braided Anker, or Belkin

Belkin.

They are practically indestructible and last forever. You'd have to be wilfully negligent to damage one.

Another vote for Anker, I’ve never had a problem with them.

Anker ot Belkin

Anker or Belkin

Thanks all, I'll get one of each. Might palm my crap ones off on the wilfully negligent teens 😁
